From planting mulberry, raising silkworms, producing cocoons, to reeling silk and producing silk fabrics… Xincheng County, Laibin City, Guangxi vigorously promotes the sericulture industry from Traditional agriculture extends to modern industry, creating a new silk industry road.
In recent years, the county has actively seized the development opportunities of the country’s “Eastern Mulberry Movement to the West”, focusing on building a standardized demonstration base for mulberry silkworms and cultivating leading cocoon and silk processing enterprises, vigorously developing the mulberry cocoon and silk industry, and promoting the county’s industrial economy. Steady growth.
In the first quarter of this year, the regional GDP of Xincheng County was 1.825 billion yuan, a growth rate of 8.7%, of which the added value of the secondary industry was 460 million yuan, a growth rate of 15.2%; the total industrial output value above designated size grew 47.1%, Several major indicators ranked first in Laibin City, achieving a “good start”. Among them, the total output value of the secondary industry above designated size has grown rapidly, and the cocoon and silk industry has made the largest contribution.
A silkworm cocoon brings wealth to a people
“I raised half a sheet of silkworms in the first batch, with a high survival rate. I harvested 80 kilograms of cocoons, selling for 40 yuan per kilogram, and a total income of 3,200 yuan. Now I have raised a sheet and a half in the second batch, which will be available soon. The cocoon is gone.” On April 26, Lan Hengxian, a villager in Xiyitun, Xinwei Village, Xinwei Township, Xincheng County, happily calculated the income from sericulture. According to the current price and output, his income from silkworm production in the first half of this year is expected to reach 30,000 yuan, which is higher than his income from working outside.
Currently, all cocoon purchasing sites in Xincheng County are busy opening scales to purchase cocoons. “The quality of this year’s silkworm cocoons is good, and the output is also good. We collect more than 4,000 kilograms a day. After collecting, we take them directly to the Jade Silkworm Reeling Factory for reeling.” The owner of the silkworm reeling factory acquisition business said.
Last year, the county’s silkworm development area was 258,700 acres, more than 800,000 silkworm seeds were raised annually, and silkworm farmers’ income was more than 800 million yuan.
Since the beginning of spring this year, Xincheng County has timely introduced a reward and subsidy policy for the silkworm industry, giving subsidies to silkworm farmers for new planting of mulberry, ratoon mulberry and fourth-instar silkworms, injecting a “shot in the arm” into consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation and effectively connecting rural revitalization. “. At the same time, agricultural experts are organized to conduct technical training in towns, villages, and mulberry gardens, and guide silkworm farmers to prevent and control diseases and pests in mulberry gardens, carefully raise silkworms, and disinfect and prevent diseases in silkworm houses to ensure that every household has an income from silkworm raising.
One base drives industrialized production
Industrial development cannot be separated from the support of platforms. Xincheng County promotes the innovation and application of advanced technologies by building a standardized silkworm breeding base, and drives the high-quality development of the silkworm industry.
The standardized silkworm breeding demonstration base in Lang Village, Gupeng Town, this county has built a standardized large silkworm room and a co-breeding room for small silkworms, equipped with automated sericulture equipment such as cleaning machines, leaf cutters, skateboards, and elevators. Guide the transformation of traditional individual dispersed breeding into a standardized and modern factory-style breeding model to achieve “one-stop” industrial production from silkworm seed hatching to cocooning.
“This year, our base has once again undergone technical transformation, optimized the layout of buildings and equipment applications, and expanded the scale of fourth-instar silkworm seedling cultivation. Based on the output of 4,866 silkworm seedlings last year (10,000 silkworms per piece), it is expected to be achieved this year. The output of 10,000 fourth-instar silkworms has helped more than 5,000 farmers in Gupeng, Beigeng, Suiyi, Hongdu and other towns to increase their income by raising silkworms.” Xiang Lisheng, the first secretary of Shanglang Village, introduced that currently, the demonstration site is managed by Operated by Guangxi Huizhi Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., Hechi College provides planting and breeding technical support. Real-time monitoring, room temperature monitoring and other equipment are installed in the homes of silkworm farmers, so that silkworm farmers can receive technical guidance and help without leaving home. Through technological sericulture, the survival rate of small silkworms has increased from 65% to 95%. Each silkworm seedling can produce an additional 15 kilograms of cocoons, which can bring an additional income of 6 million yuan to surrounding silkworm farmers every year.
At present, Xincheng County is building two core demonstration bases for the modern sericulture industry with Lang Village in Gupeng Town and Liuna Village in Hongdu Town as the core areas. The base adopts the “leading enterprise + university + cooperative + base” model to successfully solve the problem of low survival rate of sericulture. This empirical model is being promoted throughout the county.
A large project aggregationIndustrial Cluster
The sound of the machine rumbled and the silver thread shuttled through. On April 26, the author walked into the large factory building of Sanjiangkou (Xincheng) Cocoon Silk Industrial Park, Hongdu Town, Xincheng County. Workers were busy drawing wires and assembly lines. According to the person in charge of Guangxi Tongyi National Silk Development Co., Ltd., the silk factory in the industrial park has been operating normally after trial production, with an output value of 3.83 million yuan in the first quarter of this year.
Sanjiangkou (Xincheng) Cocoon and Silk Industrial Park is the fourth batch of major projects coordinated and promoted at the autonomous region level in 2020, with a total investment of 5 billion yuan, including fresh cocoon drying, silk reeling, silk weaving, whitening, printing and dyeing (Digital printing), clothing, home clothing, bedding, foreign trade, etc.
It is understood that after the completion of the project, it is expected to become the largest single cocoon and silk industrial park in the country, rewriting Guangxi’s intelligent silk refining, dyeing, printing and finishing production, Xincheng There is no history of silk production. The project can achieve annual sales of about 10 billion yuan, profits and taxes of about 500 million yuan, solve the employment problem of 15,000 people, and lead the world.��150,000 people are employed.
Relying on the rich cocoon resource advantages, Xincheng County focuses on cultivating a silk industry cluster led by the Sanjiangkou (Xincheng) Cocoon Silk Industrial Park project, creating a core of high-end dyeing and finishing and fabric production, and moving towards spinning and weaving. The textile industry chain of “one core and two ends extending” is expanded with clothing and home textiles. Today, six key silk enterprises, including Dongshixin, Hengye, Haoyunlai, Ruilong and Yucan, have been completed and put into production.
